Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Corporation Tax Regime: Discussion (16 May 2018)

Michael McGrath: I welcome Mr. Coffey and thank him for the opening statement. I will start by asking him about table 9, where he talks about the concentration of volatility. Is his point that companies are moving in and out of the top ten?

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Corporation Tax Regime: Discussion (16 May 2018)

Michael McGrath: So the overall issue of concentration remains, that close to 40% of receipts are from the top ten but the composition of the top ten is changing and the amount of tax paid within that is changing too. What does that tell Mr. Coffey? What is the message there about volatility?

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Corporation Tax Regime: Discussion (16 May 2018)

Michael McGrath: Comparing us to other industrialised nations, would the fact that 80% of our corporation tax receipts are from multinationals be significantly out of line with other countries we would normally be compared with?

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Corporation Tax Regime: Discussion (16 May 2018)

Michael McGrath: To what extent?

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Corporation Tax Regime: Discussion (16 May 2018)

Michael McGrath: Why is it not held up as a greater risk? Surely that is a stand-out risk for the economy if that is way out of line with international norms? Mr. Coffey is now talking about €8.5 billion in 2018. It is 15.7% of total expected taxation receipts. It is a relatively high level of dependence. Within that, the concentration and focus on multinationals is quite acute but it does not...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Corporation Tax Regime: Discussion (16 May 2018)

Michael McGrath: Is Mr. Coffey's point that it is wider economic dependence that is at issue and the taxation dependence is not out of line with our overall economic dependence on the multinational sector?

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Corporation Tax Regime: Discussion (16 May 2018)

Michael McGrath: Does the overall conclusion in Mr. Coffey's report last year, that corporation tax receipts are sustainable to the extent that he can tell out to 2020, remain valid and in place?

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Corporation Tax Regime: Discussion (16 May 2018)

Michael McGrath: That holds. What can Mr. Coffey say about after 2020? Many of the expenditure commitments and budgetary decisions being made have long-term implications. They are put into the base and are recurring annual costs. Similarly, taxation forgone is recurring unless one changes policy. If Mr. Coffey is only concluding that it is sustainable for the next two to three years, what can he say...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Corporation Tax Regime: Discussion (16 May 2018)

Michael McGrath: With the overall corporation tax regime we have reliefs, allowable deductions and tax credits such as the research and development credit. How open and transparent is our system as a corporation tax code with respect to other countries?

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Corporation Tax Regime: Discussion (16 May 2018)

Michael McGrath: The one area in which there is significant potential for distortion is in intellectual property, IP, and royalty payments, which can result in profits being shifted from one jurisdiction to another. How would the witness characterise our system with respect to royalty payments for intellectual property. With base erosion and profit shifting, BEPS, and the OECD transfer pricing arrangements,...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Corporation Tax Regime: Discussion (16 May 2018)

There will be legal challenges on certain issues. That is absolutely certain at this stage. The other key point I want to...
